Barbie was the highest-grossing movie of 2023, and Mattel is looking to capitalize on that popularity with Barbie The Movie: In Concert, a live-to-film concert experience tour that will include a stop at Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas on Saturday, August 3.

The tour will start in Tampa, Florida, traveling to 37 cities before wrapping up on August 18 in Wantagh, New York. Two Texas cities made the cut on the tour; in addition to Dallas, it will also go to The Woodlands on August 2.

Produced by Overture Global Entertainment, the concert will bring Mattel Film’s first theatrical production to life with live music from The Barbie Land Sinfonietta, a special presentation from Orchestrator and Executive Producer Macy Schmidt’s all-women and majority women-of-color orchestra.

The film will be projected onto a giant LED screen as the Sinfonietta performs the film’s score by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt. Promising a "one-of-a-kind immersive experience," the tour will also feature specialty limited-edition merchandise, photo opportunities, and more.

In addition to the all-women orchestra, Barbie The Movie: In Concert will include a touring road crew consisting of a veteran lineup of all-women technical and production professionals.

Barbie is nominated for eight Oscars at the 96th annual Academy Awards, to be held on Sunday, March 10. Two of those nominations are for Best Song - "I'm Just Ken," sung by Ryan Gosling, and "What Was I Made For?" by Billie Eilish.

Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets beginning on March 5 at 10 am through the Citi Entertainment program. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale beginning on Friday, March 8 at 10 am via ticketmaster.com.

Dallas cheered on as 5th best sports city in America for 2024

There's no denying Dallas is home to some of the most supportive sports fanbases, and a new report has confirmed the city's dedication to its teams. The home of the (3-6) Cowboys ranks as the No. 5 best sports city in America this year, according to a newly released report by WalletHub.

Every year, WalletHub compares 400 U.S. cities for its "Best Sports Cities" report, relying on previous rankings across five different sports categories: Football, baseball, basketball, soccer, and hockey.

Los Angeles is 2024's No. 1 best sports city in America, followed by Boston (No. 2), Pittsburgh (No. 3), and New York (No. 4).

Dallas has maintained its No. 5 ranking for the third year in a row since 2022, earning a score of 43.20 points out of a possible 100.

The city performed the best in the football category after it earned the coveted No. 2 spot in WalletHub's previous report that ranked the best and worst cities for football fans in 2024.

Dallas is pretty serious about its dedication to football, and the Cowboys are well known for having one of the most ride-or-die fanbases year after year. Cowboys fans are also crazy about making every tailgate just as memorable (and expensive) as each home game.

All this, despite the fact that the 'boys have yet to win a home game, and chances are not getting much better with quarterback Dak Prescott's recent season-ending injury.

"Even with technology making major televised games accessible from anywhere, many serious fans still prefer live action — and the best seats in the house," the report said.

Additionally, WalletHub said U.S. sports franchises earn about $40 billion in annual revenue, and America's most valuable team is worth a record-breaking $9 billion. The Cowboys have consistently topped Forbes’ annual ranking of NFL team valuations for 17 years.

Thankfully, Dallas also has the Mavericks and Stars, both of which made deep runs toward championships last season. And the Texas Rangers, of course, who won the World Series in 2023. Here's how Dallas stacked up among the four other sports categories:

No. 15 – Basketball rank
No. 17 – Hockey rank
No. 22 – Soccer rank
No. 258 – Baseball rank

Elsewhere in Texas, only two other cities made it into the top 100. Houston ranked No. 23, and San Antonio came in at No. 40.

"Sports can cause rivalries between cities, but can also give people a deep appreciation for places other than their hometown," said WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo.

The top 10 best sports cities in America are:

No. 1 – Los Angeles, California
No. 2 – Boston, Massachusetts
No. 3 – Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
No. 4 – New York, New York
No. 5 – Dallas, Texas
No. 6 – Miami, Florida
No. 7 – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
No. 8 – San Francisco, California
No. 9 – Washington, D.C.
No. 10 – Cincinnati, Ohio

Avid fans of Dallas sports and Dallas food won't want to miss all the action at CultureMap's exciting sports bash, The Tailgate presented by Verizon, which is coming up on December 9 at the Empire Room. Tickets are available now.
